This Season of Giving, we’re celebrating the unsung heroes and champions of Nature.
We’re honoring those who have not only shaped their lives around Nature, but have trusted Nature to shape their lives. With less than two weeks remaining in the Astral Season of Giving Giveaway, we are proud to announce the third (of four) winners.
The third $1,000 gift card goes to…
Eric Manner
“Eric is a farmer, focusing on organic practices. Eric learns regularly from nature’s rhythms, works to honor nature in all farming practices, and opens his farm and his home to volunteer farmhands who are working to learn more about living a more simple life and producing their own food. Eric also knows that working in nature is not the whole story and allows plenty of time for play in nature as well. Eric is an avid hiker and willing to show farmhands all the best local swimming holes when summer afternoons get hot and demand a break from farm work.”
Check out Eric’s farm, Pucker Up Berry Farm outside of Brevard, NC.
How Eric will put his Astral gear to use : “Eric has found that the waterproof and lightweight functionality of Astral shoes make them perfect for life on the farm. Eric will use this gift of gear to support his work as a farmer in quick drying, high quality footwear and put plenty of hiking and canoeing miles on that gear as well.”
Congratulations Eric!
